Should this sheriff be held in contempt?

Well not really. If people are going out getting Mortgages that they can't afford, that's their fault. Maybe you can blame the bank for being irresponsible, but really, you can't blame a hustler for doing what he does. Blame the suckers. That's how I see it.

Also how many times do you think he's evicted people before, I bet he didn't think twice back then. I suppose now it's "different" that they're getting kicked out.

Mek - the problem here is that renters are being thrown out of the buildings they rent in. The folks being evicted did not get bad morgages - the building owner did. As the Sheriff points out - the renters have paid their bills and it's up to the mortgage companies to investigate the occupants before they pull the trigger.

You did read the article, I hope.

It was mainly talking about renters.

Well no I didn't really read the article

Yeah, I guess they are innocent. Then again, it happens. That's a risk of renting out, there's quite a few risks whilst renting out

How is this any different to a landlord telling you to fuck off because he wants to give the property to his son or daughter?

The difference is...the renters are paying the landlord...but for some reason the landlord isn't paying the mortgage...

There are renter's right laws that are supposed to protect renters from certain things...like if the landlord wants to give the property to his son or daughter he has to give notice and time for the renter to vacate. And really...if the renter is paying the landlord and the landlord is not paying the mortgage?...what is he doing with it? That is as good as stealing.

Yes.

What we need is the federal government to tell people how and where they can spend their money.

I say good for the sheriff. I know banks don't want to be landlords, but to kick out paying tenants is just stupid. Collect the rent to pay on the mortgage, and then find a new buyer. Don't kick out a source of revenue to repay the loan so the building can sit in foreclosure, for who knows how long, while waiting to find a new buyer.

This stupidity is just lost on me.

A Chicago politician acting in the interests of his constituents rather than the those of the mob and various corporations?!?!?!????

He deserves to be knighted, and failure to pay a mortgage when your tenants are paying their rent is essentially theft.

ummm..what? Did you quote the wrong person?...cuz, I was merely stating that if the landlord is not paying the mortgage, there should be some sort of protection in place for the renter that is paying their rent. I never suggested that the federal government should tell people how and where they could spend their money...

Or only accept people who can afford a theoretical interest rate. Even thought they can afford the low variable interest rate if they cant afford the highest or near the highest possible interest rate they are not approved.
